    TL;DR

    • Google is preparing to have Android open Captive Portal pages in an Android Custom Tab instead of an Android WebView.
    • A Captive Portal is a web page that many public Wi-Fi networks present before they allow your device to connect.
    • By opening these web pages in Android Custom Tabs, they’ll have access to your autofill and session data, making it easier to sign in when needed.
